Did You Know?
| Trivia | Disney short cartoons from this period generally did not carry on-screen credits for voices, as is the case with this cartoon. Some believe, incorrectly, that the voice of the narrator is Billy Bletcher, the character actor and voice artist notable for such Disney work as the Big Bad Wolf in The Three Little Pigs and as Dwarfs Grumpy and Sleepy in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
